Ann Magnolia

I can't believe it. I was ready to pull out my magnolia because I thought for sure it didn't take from when I originally purchased it last spring. Looked "dead as a door nail" until today. Now it has a few leaves near the top and some starting down the main shaft. Any suggestions on what to give it to "jump start" and maybe save it? Thank you for any suggestions.

Give it a dilute solution of Miracle Grow (or Peter's) every two weeks from now till Sept 1st and a good dose (a full bag) of a good compost now and again in the mid-late fall. And keep it watered well. Good luck!
